2 Introduction
2.1 General
The Hart Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRT) models 5626 and 5628,
are designed to be the best secondary standard interpolating instrument
converting temperature to resistance. The PRTs are used with a readout de
-
vice to detect temperature changes or actual temperature. The PRTs cover
the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) range from –200°C to
661°C. Two standard resistance values are available. The 5626 is 100Ω and
the 5628 is 25.5Ω. Standard lengths are 12, 15, and 20 inches. Custom
lengths are available on request.
The two PRTs are hand constructed at Hart Scientific by experts with years
of PRT manufacturing experience. Each PRT is carefully annealed at the ap
-
propriate temperatures and precisely tested for stability. The sensing ele
-
ment is fabricated using high purity platinum wire wound in a strain free
design on a specially designed support. The 1/4 inch O.D. Inconel 600
sheaths are sealed with a specially mixed gas and fit with a terminal box
handle and strain relieved connection to the four-wire cable. Gold plated
spade lugs terminate the wires.
2.2 Application
Hart 5626 and 5628 thermometers are classified as secondary standards. A
secondary standard is defined in terms of transfer of the ITS-90 from a
standards laboratory to a customer’s laboratory. Secondary standards are
2
Introduction

Figure 1 Hart Model 5626 and 5628 Platinum Resistance Thermometers
calibrated using a primary standard that has been calibrated in a primary
calibration laboratory using known intrinsic values.
2.3 Calibration
In order for any instrument to be used as a standard it must be calibrated.
The PRTs are calibrated in Hart Scientific's calibration laboratory and pro
-
vided with a NIST traceable “Report of Calibration”.
At the time of purchase, the 5626 and 5628 are calibrated over their entire
range (–196°C to 660°C) at specified ITS-90 fixed points. Generally, a sec
-
ondary PRT is calibrated by comparison method. All PRTs calibrated by Hart
Scientific are calibrated using standard calibration techniques.
2.4 Recalibration
The recalibration of the 5626/5628 Secondary PRT should be scheduled ac
-
cordingtotheuser’scompanyQualityAssurancerequirements.Normally,a
PRT is recalibrated annually. Unless the PRT is used only over a limited
range, calibration over the full range of the PRT (–196°C to 661°C) is recom-
mended. For information on recalibrating your 5626 or 5628, contact Hart
Scientific’s Customer Service department for an RMA number and current
pricing (see Section , Before You Start).
Depending on the user’s Quality Assurance requirements, the PRT drift
should be checked periodically at the Triple Point of Water (TPW). Section
8,Troubleshooting, provides information on drift with respect to mechanical
shock and oxidation. If the R
tp
cannot be restored after annealing to within
calibration tolerances, a full recalibration should be scheduled.

4 Installation
4.1 Environmental Issues
Ideally, temperature calibration equipment should be used in a calibration
laboratory or other facility specifically designed for this purpose. Environ
-
mental requirements include:
•
Stable temperature and relative humidity <80%
•
Clean, draft-free area
•
Low noise level: low radio frequency, magnetic or electrical interfer
-
ence
•
Low vibration levels
4.2 Mounting
Most often temperature standards, primary and secondary, are used to cali-
brate other temperature-sensitive equipment. The PRT must be mounted
carefully to avoid any damage to the sheath or sensor. If the fluid bath used
does not have a lid designed for PRT insertion, clamps should be used to
ensurethehandleandcablearenotimmersed.Do not screw the clamps
too tight. Over tightening will damage the sheath. If metal comparison
blocks are used in the bath, maintain a close fit between the thermometer
sheath and the well in the comparison block. However, allow for the ther-
mal expansion of the thermometer sheath when determining block well
tolerances.
4.3 Lead Wire Identification
The 5626 and 5628 PRTs are equipped with a four-wire cable. The same
circuit schematic applies to both PRTs (see Figure 3). Four lead wires are
used to cancel lead wire resistance. For best results, the readout device
should be equipped to handle four-terminal resistors.
The lead wires are four different colors. Lead wire pairs attached to each
end of the sensor are identified by red and black heat shrink tubing.

5 PRT Care and Handling
Guidelines
5.1 PRT Care
CAUTION: READ THIS SECTION BEFORE REMOVING THE PRT
FROM THE SHIPPING BOX OR CASE
The 5626 and 5628 Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRTs) are delicate
instruments. Care must be taken in handling the PRTs to maintain calibra
-
tion accuracy. The stress free design of the PRT sensor reduces the effects of
mechanical shock. In addition, contamination problems of the sensor at high
temperature have been eliminated. However, care should still be used when
handling the PRT even though the Inconel sheath is durable and provides
good protection for the sensor. Correct handling of the PRT will prolong the
life expectancy. When not in use, the PRT should be stored in the protective
case provided by Hart.
Note: The PRT sheath changes color after use at high temperatures.
The PRT may arrive with a brown tint to the sheath due to calibration
at high temperatures.
The handle is not designed to be immersed. The temperature limits of the
handle are: 0°C to 80°C. Temperatures outside these limits can damage the
sealed portion of the handle and the connectors.
5.2 PRT Handling Guidelines
•
DO anneal the thermometer after shipment. Shipping the thermometer
can cause mechanical shocks that effect the accuracy of the thermome
-
ter. Therefore, if possible, we advise that the thermometer be annealed
before use. The thermometer should be annealed at 500°C overnight
or 660°C for four (4) hours.
•
DO keep the thermometer as clean as possible. Always remove any
fluid from the sheath immediately after taking the thermometer from a
bath.
•
DO immerse the thermometer in the appropriate liquid for the temper
-
ature range. If a dry block is used, the well diameter should allow the
PRT to comfortably slip in and out without excess movement. For best
results, immerse the thermometer as deep as possible to avoid “stem
effect” (the temperature error caused by the conduction of heat away
from the sensor). Do not submerge the handles.
11
5
PRT Care and Handling Guidelines
•
DO allow sufficient time for the thermometer to stabilize before making
measurements. This allows for the best accuracy.
•
DO use the correct drive current with the thermometer to prevent error
in temperature or resistance. Hart Scientific recommends 1mA.
•
DO anneal the thermometer at 600 to 661°C for 12 hours if it becomes
oxidized.
•
DO use the protective shipping box or case provided or other protec
-
tion when the thermometer is not in use.
•
DO NOT subject the thermometer to any physical shock or vibration.
•
DO NOT use pliers or other devices to squeeze the sheath. This action
can permanently damage the PRT.
•
DO NOT subject the thermometer to temperatures above the highest
specified operating temperature.
•
DO NOT expose the thermometer’s handle or cables to extreme tem
-
peratures. The temperature limits of the handle are: 0°C to 80°C
•
DO NOT submerge the handle or cable in liquids.
•
DO NOT screw a clamp down so tight that it dents the sheath. This can
permanently damage the PRT.

6 Operation
6.1 General
For best results, be familiar with the operation of the heat source and the
read-outinstrument.Besuretofollowthe manufacturer’s instructions for
the read-out instrument and the heat source.
6.2 Comparison Calibration of Other
Instruments
The uniformity and stability of the heat source and the degree of accuracy
required determine the number of temperature measurements necessary.
However, to follow “good” practice procedures, always measure the triple
point of water (R
tp
) after each temperature measurement. The following
equation provides the most accurate measurement of the ratio:
W
R
R
t
t
tp
=
All PRTs experience errors caused by self-heating of the element.
Self-heating is a combination of two factors, heat dissipation and heat sink.
Self-heating error can be reduced to have a negligible effect if the PRT is
used with the same excitation current and medium in which it was
calibrated.
6.3 Immersion Requirements
Stem effect can cause measurement errors for any thermometer not im
-
mersed in the fluid at least 152 mm (6 inches). This error is due to heat lost
or gained by the sensing element through the thermometer stem. In addi
-
tion, heat losses occur due to radiation losses from the sensing element to
the housing.
The immersion depth for standards is dependent on several factors includ
-
ing accuracy requirements and type of liquid. Therefore, we recommend a
152 mm (6 inches) minimum immersion depth. However, remember the
handle limitations. The handle is not designed to be immersed. The temper
-
ature limits of the handle are 0°C to 80°C. Temperatures outside these limits
can damage the handle. Convection of heat from the heat source must be
kept within the handle limits.
The exact immersion depth required can be determined by performing a
gradient test taking measurements approximately every 1.27 cm (.5 inches)
until there is a significant difference in readings. Allow the thermometer to
stabilize at each new depth. Plot the results to see the stem effect.

Operation
6.4 Thermal EMF
Two factors contribute to thermal EMF, chemical consistency and physical
consistency. Variations in chemical structure due to impurities can contrib
-
ute to thermal EMF. Also discrepancies in crystal structure can contribute to
thermal EMF. These factors are minimized by annealing the full length of
wire before construction of the PRT.
Likewise, connection to extension lead wires and readout instruments can
beasourceofthermalEMF.ThethermalEMFiscausedbyadifferencein
temperature between two connections. If the two connections are the same
temperature, there will be little or no thermal EMF effects. However, if there
is a substantial temperature difference between connections, the thermal
EMF effects will be significant. Therefore, cover or insulate any exposed
bridge or galvanometer terminals to lessen the source of error. The effects of
thermal EMF can be canceled by using an AC bridge or a DC bridge with re
-
versible current.
